It looks like this is the year of Transformation, of Change, of Thinking Forward -out of the box- in terms of what may well be awaiting us in the next 5 to 10 years, within the corporate world, trying to figure out what next. Or, better said, where to next. You would remember how at the … Continue reading Welcome to the Era of Radical Openness
I cannot believe that, in just a few minutes from now, I will be celebrating the first month anniversary in my new job as the Lead Social Business Enabler at IBM and I hardly did notice how fast and furious it’s gone by. Goodness! One full month already?!? Where did April go? Even more important, what … Continue reading One Month Anniversary on the New Job as Lead Social Business Enabler
A couple of years back, Giovanni Rodriguez put together a guest blog post over a ReadWriteWeb on the topic of Enterprise 2.0 Adoption: Does It Have To Be So Hard? and it’s rather interesting to see how almost three years later the challenge seems to be there still, alive and kicking: Social / Open Business Adoption is hard. … Continue reading Social Business Adoption – The Laggards, The Critics and The Skeptics

While I was pondering further along preparing my coming back to blogging I just couldn’t help reflecting on a good number of the various different articles that I have posted over here in the last few months, some of them exposing, quite frankly, perhaps too bluntly, at times, some of the various different challenges that Social Business, … Continue reading Social Business in 2013 – A Challenge
It’s been a bit over two weeks since the last blog post I put together over here, where I was celebrating “The Joy of Business Travelling“, and just as I got back from my next business trip, that, this time around, took me to Apeldoorn, Amsterdam, Brighton and Montpellier, I couldn’t help thinking that the … Continue reading The State of Social Business – A State of Maturity?
